*A jaded sense of fun - Sign if ure going to keep playing after Jan. 21

you are getting a skewed perspective. people do not post of the forums the moment something cool happens.

for example last night i decided to start a dark jedi and some of his dialogue options were so funny i laughed out very loud in my apartment alone. i thought they were surprising and very well done. Did i come to the forums to tell everyone ? no. i kept right on playing to see what happened next.

the night before i was doing a heroic on nar shadda with a full group. two of the party fast travelled out before the bonus quests were done. my jugg and a sith sorcerer stayed behind to finish the bonus and found it ended in champion elite boss. it took us forever to kill but it was quite fun. i did not post the forums saying how much fun i just i had. i kept playing.

my sister and her husband all grouped together through the first few republic worlds. we had a blast. none of us said anything about it the forums...we just kept playing.

i used to play a lot of online poker - bad full tilt bad - and one of the things i learned was most of the time poker players do not remember winning. if you ask a poker player to tell me about the best hand you won he will have ten more about hands he should have won but lost. the same holds true for video game players. ask someone to tell you a WoW story and more often than not you will get raid wipes at 1 percent, the idiot rogue who stood in the fire, the hunter that ninja'd the brutality blade, emptied the guild bank and gquit etc etc.

also...if someone says stuff like game-breaking, fail, hate, loathe, abhor...in most cases you can sub in the word "dislike" and that is actually how they really feel. people like to use words that make what they are saying sound more serious on the internet.

I think the majority of the people enjoying the game are too busy enjoying it to bother looking at the forums.
